CHAPTER ONE
KONOHA
I've been blind since I was five years old. Orochimaru had experimented on my eyes, testing out his new jutsu to give me night vision or something like that.
Yeah. I'm an experiment. But that was the first and last test they would ever do to me, because I escaped that day. Don't even ask me how. I was out of my mind for even thinking of escaping. But somehow a blind five year old girl managed to escape one of Orochimaru's hideouts. I guess they underestimated me. Or didn't care.
When I said it was stupid to think of escaping one of his hideouts, it was even stupider to not plan what you were going to do after you escaped one of his hideouts- especially when the Third Shinobi War just ended.
I had no idea if it was day or night. I was starving. And cold. My feet hurt because I was walking for days on end.
And then I bumped into something hard, causing me to fall on my butt.
"Ouch!" I said, slowly getting up.
"Miss, are you all right?" I heard someone say. No, I didn't bump into a person, I bumped into a gate. I felt a hand touch my shoulder and i cringed away. I looked up at where I thought the guy's face was.
"Are you blind?" I heard another voice say. I looked at him and nodded slowly.
"Do you have a name?" he asked. I shook my head. No one had named me, at least, not one I remember.
"Do you think we should take her to the hokage?" the other asked him.
"Yes." he said.
"Hey, come on. We'll take you to the Hokage." What other choice did I have? I followed the sound of their footsteps until we got to some stairs- which I tripped over, by the way.
When we got to the top of the steps, they both stopped and I bumped into one of them. I would have fallen back down the steps if he didn't catch me.
"Kotetsu, Izumo. Who's that?" Someone asked.
"Hokage-sama. We found this girl outside the village. Well, actually she bumped into the gates. She's blind and doesn't know her own name. What should we do with her?" Kotetsu asked.
"How old are you?" the Hokage asked.
"F-five." I answered.
"Where did you live before you came here?" He asked.
"I-I don't really know." I lied. something told me that if I told them that I was at one of Orochimaru's hideouts they wouldn't trust me.
"Do you want to become a ninja?" the Hokage asked.
"A ninja? She's blind!" Kotetsu argued.
"She can go to the academy. But right now she needs someplace to stay. Maybe the Hyuugas. Or the Uchihas. Who would be better?"
"Hyuugas." Kotetsu and Izumo both said at the same time.
"Uchihas it is." the Hokage said.
"What?" they both asked.
"I know you guys are bad at choosing. So I chose the opposite of what you chose. Now show her to the Uchiha compound. Tell them she has to stay with them until further notice." he said.
"Okay." they both said and escorted me out.
